QA Automation Engineer/Lead

Work directly with the founder on high-priority, cross-functional problems across product, growth, operations, and strategy. This is not a passive or research-only internship. You will ship features, run experiments, automate workflows, and execute ideas quickly.

You will operate as a generalist and take ownership of projects end-to-end.

What you will do

• Assist founders with daily tasks, follow ups, notes & priorities
• Research markets, competitors, and opportunity areas
• Help build and maintain trackers for leads, meetings, follow-ups, and execution workflows
• Create sharp documents: summaries, reports, presentations, and process notes
• Identify gaps, fix inefficiencies, and improve how work gets done
• Take ownership of special projects that require both thinking + execution

Who This Role Is For

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have built or tried to build something of your own (projects, startups, side hustles, communities)
• Want to start your own company someday
• Prefer ownership over instructions
• Are comfortable working with ambiguity and figuring things out without step-by-step guidance
• Enjoy fast-paced early-stage environments where priorities change often

Good to have (not a strict requirement)

• Basic coding or automation skills (JS/Python/No-code/Zapier/AI tools)
• Growth/SEO/content experience
• Experience working in early-stage startups or small teams
• Strong research and structured thinking skills

How We Evaluate

We value:

• Speed > perfection
• Shipping > planning
• Results > credentials

Resumes matter less than proof of work.

What you will gain

• Direct exposure to founder-level decisions and strategy
• Real ownership of projects
• End-to-end execution experience across product, growth, and ops
• Live production experience shipping real features and experiments
• Potential full-time offer based on performance

Who This Role Is Not For

This role may not be ideal if you:

• Prefer clearly defined tasks and structure
• Want a slow-paced or highly process-driven environment
• Are looking for a purely observational internship

Internship details

• Remote friendly
• Flexible hours (outcome-focused, not clock-based)
• Paid stipend (performance-based)
• Duration: 3–6 months
